A: Because Category III or IV projects will likely more fully engage the institution financially, legally and in terms of brand usage, HIMG may ask the project leader to provide HIMG with progress reports or specific information at regular intervals. This is to ensure that complex projects associated with the Hopkins name are being managed in conformance with the Guidelines and any specific guidance provided by HIMG. A: Contracts should be developed with and reviewed by your school’s General Counsel. Faculty and staff members should never enter into any legal agreement without such counsel. Please bear in mind that legal contracts that bind Hopkins or one of its divisions can be signed only by someone in your school or in the Health System who has institutional signature authority. A: If during the HIMG review process, the members believe that the proposal does not include an adequate editorial process to ensure that the quality of the content will be of the highest standards, HIMG may recommend such a process be developed before approving the association of the Hopkins name with the project.
